Shannen Doherty Shaves Head For Chemotherapy (breast Cancer) - Looks Devastated

[Aldrich]

I'd buzz my hair for a huge financial bonus

That's pretty good. What if people with male pattern baldness got a huge settlement once the disease was officially diagnosed? A big chunk of money for "a future lifetime of irreparable emotional damage." Or, being financed by the government for treatment.

"Cancer is horrible, you have to think it's horrible! It must be right?"

Come on, she'll recover, get her hair back and then will go on about how strong she was.



Hair loss is worse than cancer. Go to cancer forums, people are way more hopeful than on here.

Why? Easy, there have the possibility of way out, even if it's slim, it's still there.

Lol you are really the biggest pussy which i ever have seen!
Hair loss is worse then cancer ;MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

For someone who never had cancer you are really a stupid guy. Hair loss is nothing vs cancer.

My uncle died with nearly 40. f*****g cancer killed him. He had hairs on his head Norwood1 and was an amazing good looking guy.
And for what? For nothing his life was just full with pain and his wife was just a big a**h**.


I saw your thread Fredthebelgian i still can't understand why you are still here. Your status is absolutly ok. How are are you now?

Because it's temporary for her. Stop ignoring that.

That is; if she survives (stop ignoring that). If I had the choice between getting cancer and losing my hair temporary but completely recovering from the disease and getting my hair back, or simply losing my hair to Androgenetic Alopecia, I'd choose going through the cancer but getting my hair back. There's not much I wouldn't go through if it meant getting my hair back. BUT, and this is a big "but"; you have no guarantees with cancer. You might survive, or you might not, depending on what type of cancer you have and how far the disease has come. If I had to choose between terminal cancer and Androgenetic Alopecia, I'd choose Androgenetic Alopecia no doubt about it.

It changes nothing. If you lose the hair through chemo and you die, then it was pointless as not going through chemo would have had the same effect. But if you go through chemo and survive (or live longer) then it's a great trade off.

I don't see the point in crying over hair when you've got a bigger problem at hand.

To add to that: if someone told me I could beat cancer but it required me to temporarily go bald, baldness or not, I'd be more than happy to take that deal. So these people get all sappy about going through treatment because of hair loss but has a GOOD track record of success, I can't sympathize for on THAT note.

Grow a pair of testicles and take the chemo. Stop worrying about the f*****g hair setback and worry more about actually pulling through with your LIFE.

Want a reason to be sad about hair? Try being bald for life. Or... did they forget they have CANCER?
But I'll take baldness over death from cancer or any of the other sh*t cancer patients have to go through.

That was what I said.

 

[hellouser]

That was what I said.

I said that on the second page of this thread though... still getting grilled for trying to instill some perspective into both cancer and alopecia sufferers.

Oh sorry, didn't read the whole thread you see

Suffering with both though sounds horrendous.

dat ***,hips and small waist though. (avvy related)

Hailo effect

 

[hellouser]

Thought chemotherapy today didn't cause hair loss.

It's funny, other than gene therapy (which isn't widely used in the US), it seems that
science has barely gotten a handle on cancer treatments.

Nothing really new, or working.

There's this:

This. You can find a lot of testimonies where cancer patients say the worst part was losing their hair.

I mean, really? You're puking your guts out, maybe in unbearable pain, and actually dying, and the worst part is temporarily losing your hair?!

I'm glad they say that actually, it says it all about our condition.

I saw a testimony like this from a person who was suffering from testicular cancer.

 

[F2005]

First off, I'm not judging anyone's opinion on what he/she feels is worse: Androgenetic Alopecia or cancer. I think one would first have to experience hair loss as a healthy individual, live life as a truly bald person and then be diagnosed with cancer to be able to answer that question. Secondly, I've seen four people close to me suffer from cancer, three from diagnosis to deathbeds, so I'm not ignorant to others' suffering, both physical and mental, from the horrible disease.

Two years into my hair loss, I read this article in People Magazine:

http://www.people.com/article/joan-lunden-bald-reveal-breast-cancer

What struck me the most was this comment:

"But when you lose your hair, it just affects the way that you look at yourself in the mirror. You feel less feminine, pretty or desirable, and it's not an easy thing to go through."

I wondered why she didn't take that opportunity to express empathy for women who suffer from Androgenetic Alopecia or other types of alopecia--women who will never regrow their hair and some of whom will forever feel "less feminine, pretty or desirable".

I'll also share with you the first two paragraphs from a young girl's story I read on WHLP a long while back:

"June 14th 2004. I bet I know what you’re thinking. 'That’s when her hair started falling out' Right? Nope. That’s when I had my ability to walk taken away from me. It was a normal day, and I was training for a big national competition in Australia with my horse. I had been riding for 10 years before that day, and falling off was just another thing. No big deal. I had heard that you had a 2% chance of something going horribly wrong if you fell off a horse, and I’d never come away with anything more then a couple of bruises and some sore muscles until that day. I was now a paraplegic. Being faced with the fact that I would never walk again. Ever. That I would be completely dependant on a wheelchair for the rest of my life and have to learn all over again to do simple tasks like looking after myself. It was hard. Very hard. But not the hardest thing I’ve experienced.

Just before my 16th birthday, my hair began to fall out. Very slowly at first, just a few more stands then normal. But in the next week it became more and more noticeable. There would be hair on my pillow, in my sheets, stuck on my clothes, on the lounge, in the shower, absolutely everywhere. Handfuls of hair would painlessly and effortlessly come out just running my fingers through my hair. I used to sit on the bottom of the shower in shock, as I watched my hair run loose with the stream of water and watch the water rise as the hair covered the drain. I was petrified of brushing my hair. I wanted to keep the small amount of hair that I had left. I felt so ugly, so alone, like such a freak. I was a girl! A YOUNG girl. And here I was holding my hair in my hands crying and hoping to God that this was just a horrible, nasty dream."

I'll end by saying that, for me, at this stage of my life, anything that would make me dependent upon or take me away from my family would be worse than hair loss. I can't say with certainty how I'd feel, though, if I were a young, single woman with Androgenetic Alopecia.

Excellent article at the bottom of the post that everyone here should really read.

Did you call me a sociopath? LOL, dude you cherry pick EVERYTHING and go off the rails in every thread!.. Almost literally EVERY thread. You are what most would call a hypocrite in this regard.

But you just did it again; conveniently ignored context... those friends of mine who DID go through cancer complained about the hair loss more than anything else. I too suffer from hair loss so I know what THAT (and that alone) feels like, but that apparently doesn't make you question WHY that is when cancer patients have bigger things to worry about. Like I said; it's pretty evident that hair IS an important factor if even cancer patients are so traumatized by it EVEN IF temporarily. Are you able to comprehend this?

Nobody here is downplaying cancer, although YOU are the only one that is implying that I am doing this because (again) you've got a vendetta against me.... perhaps it's because I've proved you wrong so many times before and you can't take it anymore and you feel the need to spazz out (although you do this frequently all over the forum, so perhaps it's an underlying problem with you).

I'm not sure you understand what a sociopath is, and almost literally every thread?! What f*****g planet are you on?

As far as proving me wrong so many times, you constantly make outrageous comments and when called out on them you don't even post again! Not just the many times I've made you leave, but others as well, it's a constant cycle of Hellouser Exit Thread. The other day your argument was "Are you STILL going on about this?!" in other words "Oh no do I have to justify what I just said?! I thought I got away with it!"

I've acknowledged your shitty argument, you haven't acknowledged mine, or when Dench said the same thing, and you keep clinging to these little hooks like "Oh but she has TEMPORARY hair loss so I'm going to believe I can bash the f*** out of her because that's just what I want to do anyway" and keep doing that if that's what's right for you, but that doesn't make it right.

Real predictable.

 

[Rudiger]

That is what I always tell you, you do the same thing.

It's pretty much just you and hellouser, you're both f*****g useless. Well done on relating to him.

 

[Rudiger]

Oh sh*t I touched a nerve.

 

[Rudiger]

Say all you want about your "contributions" but your mentality and logic is f*****g useless, just like that logic right there about no objections being an admission of something, absolutely pointless bullshit that you cut into your biased and fucked up mind.

I don't know why you bother even having opinions because they are absolutely meaningless, a complete waste of space, they change like the wind and you aren't a little child anymore as much as you may have the mental capacity of one.

Let's give an example, when I battered you down about how personality play SOME importance, because you insisted it was 100%, you eventually succumbed to the idea that personality only play some relevance in a relationship, after this incident you safeguarded every post with "Personality is completely irrelevant (except maybe in a relationship)".

Now what are you writing? Personality is even less important in a relationship than in a first encounter.

And what the f*** is less than 0%?

Keep arguing, keep thinking you have contributions to make, but in your own head you know all this effort is only to justify your insane, ever conflicting, ever hypocritical bullshit.

All completely pointless, all completely useless.

And if I wanted to ignore your insane bullshit and agree with you, you would love my posts, absolutely, that's the saddest thing of it all.

 

[Rudiger]

That's not evolution it's regression.

Here's another Fred Favourite of mine:

"Everything I write isn't an opinion because it's based on FACTS"

Hahaha. But your FACTS evolve now, do they?
